DEATH OF Hon. e. Il. ALEXANDER.
-Cn Friday morning news reached
Bellefonte uf the death Of that gentle
man, at Aiken, \. c., where he had
gone for his health. The Ddtly NeiCS
gives the following shetch of Mr. Al
eXander's life
Deceased was one Of Bellefnnte's
most distinguished citizeas. He was
born in Mifiiin county and at the time
of his death WAS about 81 years Of age.
He was lawyer by profession aud at
tanned u legal standing second TO no
one at the Centre county bar. He had
interested himself in politics and was
elected by the dominant party IN the
district TO represent the people In the
State Senate, which he did with fidelity
and ability. His name WAS several
times mentioned among the available
democrats as a fitting candidate of that
party for Governor.
Nor can we omit to mention the fact
that he was enterprising as citizen.
Though not possessed OF large means,
he invested in industries which accrued
10 the interest of our town. Notable
among his enterprises was an interest
in the glass works which he held dur
ing the time when IL was to a certain
extent an experiment, and which doubt
less his wise advise contributed greatly
in rendering IA success.
His health has rapidly failed Of late
and, and despairing Of regaining his
strength in this severe climate, he tray
e'ed TO the South, spending most of the
time at Aiken, 5. g. Encouraging re-
ports of his condition were received,
and the news of his death comes with
shocking force.
He leaves his wife, daughter and
son to mourn his departure. The finn
eral took place at Be'lefonte Oh Tues
day afternoon.

A GOLDEN WEDDING DAY. - Mr..
Philip Musser, in his 72nd year, and
his faithful companion in life, in her
10Th year, living three miles east of
Aaronsburg, were agreeably surprised
on the 10Th inst. by their children COM
ing together to celebrate the fiftieth
anniversary of their marriage. All the
arrangements for the occasion had been
quietly made and were successfully
carried into effect. The loving parents
were quite overcome by the lilial affec-
tion OF their children, whicE was mani
tested in graceful and unaffected
style. Five of their ten children are
still living, Emanuel H., Rebecca, Mrs.
Charles Bower, Mrs. George Nj. Slower
and Mrs. Jacob Fielder. OF their 26
grand children 10 are living. They
have ore great-grand-child. The liv-
ing were all present a. this happy meet
ing except four of the grand children.
who were absent on account of sick
ness. These with a few others who
were in attendance constituted a COM
pany of about 35 persons who at noon
sat down to sumptuous repast which
was greatly enjoy ed. The day was
spent in conversation abounding with
innocent fun and "reminiscences of the
past.
Mr.. and Mrs. Musser have together
braved the conflicts of long life. and
have realized the blessedness of happy
union in wedlock. They now are near
ing the goal of the Christian race steady
in faith and strong in hope. The one a
true Lutheran and the other good
Reformed, they are possessed of piety
neither austentatious nor sentimental,
but nevertheless genuine, and practi-
cally demonstrate that these old refor-
nation confessions, unperverted. can
dwell together in peace and harmony
even within the sacred precincts of a
family. The blessings of Heaven at
tend them The Lutheran pastor was
also invited but was not present.
